Seoul Garden Yakiniku

A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS WEEK’S HOUSE SPECIAL: DINNER GARDEN BUFFET ($25.95 for adults, $16.95 for kids 8-14; all-you-can-eat for parties of 10 or more)

Diners will be happy to hear that the original management at beloved yakiniku joint Seoul Garden Yakiniku has returned.

Along with the changes, the Kapiolani Boulevard eatery — best known for its authentic Korean dishes and irresistible yakiniku — will keep the same menu, but will add new dishes as well — around 40, to be exact. Seoul Garden also will welcome a brand new chef — one that owner Yun Hee Im says holds more than 20 years of culinary experience in Hawaii.

During lunch, enjoy various specials, including Kal Bi, Beef Bulgogi and Meat Jun plates, each offered at a discounted price. For dinner, feast on the all-you-can-eat group special, Dinner Garden Buffet, for only $25.95 (per person) when you come with a party of 10 or more ($16.95 for kids 8-14). The price is unbeatable for allyou-can-eat Korean barbecue on the island, according to Im.

If you’re dining in a smaller party, however, you can order your yakiniku choices a la carte from a stacked selection of grill-ready meats and seafood, or opt for any of the other yakiniku dinner sets.
